I am still waiting for the results of my Predictor test.

It was a week ago today my teacher, Mark, called me to tell me i scored a 12.9 on the maths TABE and was eligible to write the Predictor. A week ago tomorrow i wrote it...

I went to school on Monday and Tuesday and another student was surprised to see me. "Didn't you write the predictor?" he asked me. "Yeah", i said, puzzled, "but if i didn't pass it, then i need to do more work and if i did, i still need to write the actual G.E.D. and either way, i need help with math." He laughed. He's a smart kid, and progessing a lot, but i think his motivation isn't quite the same as mine. Or at least, that is what he said, but in his own words, "i ain't in no hurry".

Neither am i, i reckon. I waited over 20 years to go down this road, so i guess a few more days won't kill me.

Now, no more procrasination. Math awaits...

Which is totally not news to anyone that knows me.

But now, i have a grey rubber braclet that proves it, that i heart elephants.

I got it at the zoo today. I am happy to know the elephants are getting a better place to live in the Buffalo Zoo. I know there are critics out there of the zoo and zoos in general. And i think if we want them to have better living conditions, we can do something about it.

The braclet is only 3 bucks. Every bit helps. Consider giving the elephants a little something to help them have a better home....

AARP?!? Please, you're not THAT old!!

I changed my usersound. To Everybody's Happy Nowadays by the Buzzcocks.

Yes, the very same song that is being used for an AARP advertisement. I reckon, like Iggy's Lust For Life, no one in the advertising industry realized that the lyrics are meant to be ironic? Or maybe it was just some covert old school Brit punk masquerading as an ad exec? Yeah, that must be it...

Last night, just around or after midnight, the cops knocked on our door and rang our bell. I was online with a friend and the sound of the doorbell and very sharp door knocking made me jump. I was worried a neighbour was in trouble. I saw through the windows of our double doors that it was a couple of cops. They asked me a few questions. Seems they were looking for someone named Judy, i forget and can't pronounce the last name they mentioned. I told them i didn't know the person, nor did i know if the person lived around here... I got the sense they were looking for her because she was a victim, not someone they were launching a manhunt for. Although, the cop car was blocking our driveway and there were at least 3 other cop cars on the street. I hope Judy unknown last name is ok.

(e:Uncutsaniflush) slept through it all. I bet he could have counted how many cops cars there were.

This morning, my phone rang when i was still in bed. I decided not to run for it. If it is important, a message would be left. And one was. My teacher called me. I got a 12.9 (the highest possible) on my last Maths TABE Test and he signed me up to write the Predictor (the sample GED type test everyone needs to pass before they will let you write the GED) "this Friday". I called him back, "uhm, do you mean tomorrow Friday or next week Friday?" Tomorrow. At 8.30 am, be there by 8.15am. Bring I.D. Eat before you arrive, the test is 4 hours long. No time to be nervous, i reckon.

I was surfin' aboot (all Canucks say "aboot", eh) while waiting for the laundry today (Oh, don't get jealous, ya'll, i know my life is too exciting!) and found a few sites i think are rather amusing.

MyCatHatesYou dot com Under the MCHY banner, the heading "CATS" has archives of all the many many goofy cat pictures. I will admit, i giggled.

The Infinate Cat Project was interesting. 1400 cats looking at cats looking at cats. Who would have thought?

And from the Kitten War peeps, we have Cats In Sinks

And to think, this cat thing all started when i was looking for a new cat cam to replace RandyCam and found JeffCam

Happy Cating...

Well, except for those that say they hate cats... yeah, i mean you (e:Paul) ! *grin*
